"What's the matter, Will?"

William woke up from the chaos with a whisper, and he sat up suddenly from the bed, and saw a piece of light gold wallpaper with complicated decorations, and a dim oil lamp hanging on the wall.

Outside the window, the night in London was getting dark, and the moonlight was completely covered by the thick fog, revealing only clusters of blurred lamp shadows.

William lowered his head in confusion, lightly shook his wrist, trying to catch a trace of strangeness, it was a faint cold feeling, like a pair of invisible shackles, restraining him and preventing him from recalling those blurred fragments .

The manhole, the basement, the female corpse with a happy expression, the sharp scalpel...

"You sweat a lot." The whisper beside him cut off the soon-to-be clear thoughts, "Did you have a nightmare?" The other party asked with concern, while wiping the fine sweat from his forehead.

Only then did he notice that Du Ruoying was sitting next to him.She was wearing a blue-purple suspender nightdress, and her fluffy black hair hung casually on one side of her shoulders, half covering her fair neck.

She raised her face slightly and looked at him quietly, her sleepy eyes were still full of sleepiness.

"Xiaoying... why are you here?" William asked blankly.

Du Ruoying glared at him angrily and amusedly: "What nonsense are you talking about? Just after the wedding in the daytime, you turn your face and deny anyone at night?"

"Wedding?!" The crimson pupils suddenly moved.

"...I told you to drink less, but you just didn't listen! Really, I'd be happy if I ruined all of Brother Albert's collection with Moran and the others. See, you can't find the north, right?" Du Ruo Ying helplessly supported her forehead, "If you had prepared an extra plate of peanuts, you wouldn't be as drunk as you are now."

weddings, drinking...

Why...he didn't have any impression of everything she said?

He tried to recall the wedding in her mouth, but he didn't realize that some memories that shouldn't exist were seeping in bit by bit, gradually supplementing the pictures related to the wedding clearly and completely.

The afternoon sun fell on the steeple of Westminster Abbey, and the sound of the bell sent off a flock of white pigeons.Du Ruoxian supported Du Ruoying, who was wearing a white wedding dress, and walked towards him from the other end of the red carpet. The two passed through one after another tall and gorgeous gothic pointed arches, and finally stopped in front of him who was wearing a black formal suit.

Behind her, the shoulder straps at the butterfly bone hang down the long white gauze wings, fluttering and swaying with the breeze, like a condensed white mist.

white mist...

Thinking of this, the temple throbbed again.

"No, I remember we were investigating the case of the drama club—"

"How many years ago did that happen, do you still remember?" Du Ruoying hugged him into her arms and comforted him gently, "You, it's because you pushed yourself too hard that you always Dream about these."

A tranquil fragrance emanated from the black hair, which was familiar and reassuring, lingering in it, and made him forget to break free for a moment. It was a subtle fragrance similar to the mixture of walnut oil and white four-flowered flowers. It was tempting, but Danger.

It's her own scent.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help taking a deep breath cherishingly.

"Since returning to China, you have also seen that London has become very peaceful now. There is no more poverty, and the hotbed of crime is no longer there. You don't have to make yourself so hard." The whisper in the ear gradually relaxed the tense body, "Just forget about the case."

William closed his eyes obediently: "Well..."

Just when he was about to sink in, Du Ruoying's voice suddenly came from another direction, distant and vague: "William! You bastard! Liar! Get out!"

It sounded savage and vexatious, but somehow it made him feel real.

He retreated vigilantly from the surround of "Du Ruoying" in front of him, trying to catch the source of another voice.

"...Don't think I don't know what you want to do! You want to counter violence with violence, don't you? I will never agree with you!"

"I know you can hear me! Listen to me! If you dare to mess around, I will never let you go!"

"What's the matter?" Du Ruoying in front of her came closer again, her docile eyes were full of concern, "You seem to be absent-minded."

The wonderful fragrance seems to be there, and it gently brushes over the tip of his nose, making his thoughts more and more confused.

"I have no idea."

It seems that I forgot a very important thing...

Seeing his fading red eyes, she raised the corners of her mouth in satisfaction, wrapped her hands around his neck, kissed him without hesitation, and easily pushed him back on the bed.The soft lips pressed together tightly, and the slender hands nimbly unbuttoned his pajamas, passed over his chest, and began to tease him deeper.

However, a distant call disturbed everything again.

"This guy doesn't answer me... If you don't answer me again, I will give you your full name!" It was still that urgent voice, sounding angry, but it somehow made him want to laugh, "I'll hit ten! Ten Nine! Eight—”

William gently pushed Du Ruoying away, and the slack red pupils returned to clarity.

"What a mistake," he smiled bitterly. "This tank of hallucinogenic gas was originally reserved for use against the murderer, so I didn't do anything to it in advance. Unexpectedly, when I was actually facing it, I actually had it." After a moment of hesitation, I felt that it would be good to end like this."

"Have you... changed your mind?" Du Ruoying gripped his sleeve tightly, looking at him pitifully.

"Yes, I can't continue to deceive and paralyze myself like this."

"Brother William," Louis suddenly appeared at the door, "Are you abandoning me again?"

"Louis?"

"We finally got back together..." Louis frowned sadly, "You—do you really have the heart?"

William lowered his head silently.

"The so-called reality or hallucination is ultimately just a projection left on the brain, and there is no difference in essence." Du Ruoying comforted, "In the world you want to go back to, she will never accept me like I do. you."

"Brother Albert and I are long gone at the place you want to go back to. The only thing that can accompany you is our bones." Louis said, "Even so, do you still want to go back?"

William's fists clenched involuntarily.

"Stay here, okay?"

"I'm sorry, Louis, I'm really... sorry," William's voice was very soft, as if he had lost all his strength, "I... really can't stay here." As soon as the words came out, the unprecedented emptiness and loss suddenly appeared On the chest.

it hurts...

"Okay then." Du Ruoying raised her head again and looked at him squarely, as if she had made up her mind, "I'll teach you how to do it."

William nodded.

"From now on, you have to hold your breath and stop inhaling more hallucinogenic gas." Du Ruoying said, "Close your eyes, make fists with both hands, and clenched tighter, yes, let your nails embed into the flesh. Feel the part carefully. Pain, capture it for what it is, let it bring your awareness out—"

William did exactly that.

When he opened his eyes again, the voice in his ears turned into Xu Fu's complaint: "How could this be..."

Xu Fu looked back at the four huge transparent glass jars behind him, each of which contained a victim's body.

He paced back and forth anxiously beside the operating table: "Why? Why is the gas useless to them?! They're going to find them soon, I'm going to die!"

came back……

William stared fixedly at the huge disc lamp for surgery above his head, felt its harsh light, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Previously, a simple analysis of the components of the hallucinogenic gas was conducted, and it was known that it could cause the level of GABA in the brain to drop rapidly, thereby stimulating the brain to produce hallucinations, and making people fall into a confused state of not distinguishing reality from reality.But he didn't expect that this kind of gas could reach such a level.

It seems that the speed of technological progress is a bit beyond his prediction...

"Is it really the only way to do this?" Xu Fu was still so absorbed in worrying about Du Ruoying's upcoming intrusion that he didn't realize that William had woken up.

As if he had finally made up his mind, he suddenly took out a remote control from his pocket and pressed the button.Immediately, a wisp of thick green acid water poured into the clear culture fluid.

Under the corrosive effect of acidic water, the corpse in the glass jar began to fester, as if being burned by an invisible flame, the eroded flesh turned from red to black, and then collapsed rapidly, making a hissing sound.

In addition to the hissing sound, William also vaguely heard a girl's sobbing, which was slight and short, like an illusion.

Accompanied by a metal crack on the operating table, William unshackled his limbs, pulled off the oxygen mask, and a chilling cold light flickered in his crimson eyes: "Qi Run, cut off the power."

The entire operating room was suddenly plunged into terrible darkness. Before Xu Fu could turn his head, he was firmly restrained by his hands and pressed against the operating table, like a broiler with its wings bound. Fighting is also in vain.

"Stop it for me." Behind him, William said coldly.

"Stop what?"

"Stop destroying the corpses." The strength of the wrists suddenly increased, as if they could be twisted at any time.

"Why, is it possible that you still want to rescue them?" Xu Fu laughed loudly, "Are you kidding, it's already too late!"

"what?!"

"Actually, the injection of acid has stopped since the power was cut off, but even a few drops are enough to corrode a corpse in just a few minutes. In the end, they don't even have DNA left Down."

"Do you—know what stupid thing you did?"

"What stupid thing?" Xu Fu sneered, "I destroyed a collection that even demons would envy, are you referring to this?"

William shook his head: "I really don't know how to repent."

"Repent? Repent for what? Why should I repent? When humans make butterfly specimens, do they care about the pain of butterflies? Will they sincerely repent for the dead butterflies? No, no!" Xu Fu said loudly, "And you, the reason why you You accuse me so sanctimoniously not because you are kinder or more just, but because you don't appreciate beauty, that's all."

"Benevolence? Justice?" William joked, "Wrong, it's not me who is truly benevolent and just, but your laws."

At this time, Du Ruoying's voice came again: "William James Moriarty! Get out of here!"

They are very close.

"James Moriarty?" Xu Fu repeated the name, and began to tremble unconsciously, "This is..."

"It's my real name." William explained calmly.

Feeling the increasingly violent trembling and fear of the prey under him, William couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

In order to push the other party further into the abyss of despair, he suddenly bent down, leaned close to Xu Fu's ear, and whispered unhurriedly: "If you hadn't destroyed those criminal evidences, the one who was in charge of judging you this time could have been The 'kindness' and 'justice' you speak of—"

"Unfortunately, you did something stupid."
